Despite the fact that mandatory financial auditing has been abolished for small private public companies in Sweden we still see this service being used by these firms. Earlier research, papers and published articles tend to focus on the abolishment of the mandatory audits seen from the accountant?s point of view.

We think that we have found a new and until now unexplored angel on this subject, and the purpose of our study has been to explore what the Swedish bank officials and what the Swedish Tax Agency?s officials think that they have to gain from a mandatory financial audit.The scientific method used in the study is deduction due to the fact that existing theories has been used to form the hypothesis.

Handelsgödsel och stallgödsel används i stor omfattning i jordbruket, men ungefär en tredjedel av den tillförda kvävegödseln tas inte upp av växtligheten. Omkring hälften av den mängden förs till närliggande vattendrag, något som kan resultera i eutrofiering av sjöar och vattendrag. Även fosforläckage till vattendrag kan orsaka eutrofiering och faktorer som kan inverka på läckaget av näringsämnen från åkermark till vattendrag är jordart, odlingsåtgärder och nederbörd. För att minska förlusterna av näringsämnen från odlingsmarker till vattendrag har det tagits fram åtgärdsprogram inom jordbrukssektorn. Ett program benämns som ?Typområden på jordbruksmark? och är en del av övervakningen av miljön i Sverige.

Tillgänglighet i vårt samhälle innebär att alla, trots funktionsnedsättningar, ska kunna använda publika lokaler och övriga allmänna platser. Arbetsterapeuter har kunskap om tillgänglighetsfrågor då de arbetar för att personer med funktionsnedsättning ska kunna leva ett så självständigt liv som möjligt. Sveriges regering antog under år 2000 en nationell handlingsplan för handikappolitiken. Enligt denna handlingsplan ska all verksamhet vara tillgänglig för alla medborgare i slutet av år 2010. Syftet med denna studie var att undersöka tillgängligheten i gallerior för personer med funktionsnedsättning.
